The Lanesborough, an elegant country house hotel located in the heart of London, is the perfect destination to celebrate the coronation of His Majesty the King.
This iconic hotel offers a series of special activations just for this monumental occasion, making it the ultimate place to stay.
Unmatched Location
Located adjacent to the grounds of Buckingham Palace and overlooking Hyde Park Corner, The Lanesborough commands a prestigious location that straddles Belgravia, Knightsbridge, and Mayfair. Visitors to the hotel will feel like royalty themselves as they step into this regal yet warm and inviting home away from home.
The Kings Coronation Celebration Accommodation Package
The ‘Kings Coronation Celebration’ accommodation package is perfect for guests looking for a Royal experience. It includes luxury transfers from London Heathrow or King’s Cross St Pancras to arrive in style, complimentary daily English breakfast, and a dedicated Lanesborough butler available 24/7 to cater to their every request.
Guests will also be welcomed with a bottle of Champagne on ice and a special Coronation amenity upon arrival in their regency-style room or spacious suite. Additionally, a sumptuous five-course Kings Coronation Celebration dinner at The Lanesborough Grill awaits them.
This hotel’s flagship modern British restaurant is led by acclaimed Executive Chef, Shay Cooper, and features a selection of classic English dishes served under a magnificent domed glass roof flooded with natural light by day.
The package also includes access to the hotel’s award-winning Lanesborough Club & Spa, 24-hour butler service, unlimited movies and music on demand, water and fruit replenished daily, tea and coffee, and complimentary pressing of one outfit per person upon arrival. The package rate starts from £1,212 per room, per night based on two people sharing one Deluxe Room. The offer is available between 2 – 12 May 2023.
The Kings Coronation Celebration Dinner
The Lanesborough Grill has crafted a limited-edition, brilliantly British five-course King’s Coronation Menu available exclusively for dinner from 2 to 12 May 2023.
This commemorative menu is available with exclusive wine pairings by The Lanesborough’s talented team of sommeliers. The highlight dishes include the aptly named Coronation crab salad made with the freshest hand-picked Dorset crab alongside flavours and spices popularised in the period of the British Raj.
The Roast Orkney Scallop with potted Lytham shrimp butter follows, using the finest hand-dived scallops from the coldest Scottish waters, paired with mouth-watering hand-peeled shrimps from Lancashire.
The star dish, however, is an ode to one of King Charles’s favourite ingredients: Rhug Estate hogget, Wye Valley asparagus, lamb sweetbreads, mint, and new season garlic. Hogget is a more mature sheep that is not yet mutton but has been allowed to age up to one year longer than lamb, resulting in a deeper, more complex flavour.
To conclude, a selection of British cheeses from a family in Cropwell Bishop is served with Welsh cakes – a known favourite of the former Prince of Wales – followed by the ‘Queen Camilla’; a unique surprise dessert conceived just to celebrate this historic moment.
A Toast to The King!
The Lanesborough’s expert mixologists have created an English vodka martini-style cocktail, ‘The Kings Coronation’, with Fino sherry and citrus cordial, inspired by the classic Gimlet, a popular cocktail promoted by the British Officers in the 19th century.
The cocktail is finished off with a few drops of Peaty single malt whiskey, a favourite nightcap of His Majesty, and is available in both The Lanesborough Grill and at the Library Bar – one of the city’s most celebrated drinks destinations.
The Kings Coronation Celebration Sunday Lunch
Visitors can also savour a special Kings Coronation Sunday lunch, centred around large joints of the finest quality British beef, expertly cooked to perfection, and carved at the table from ornate, antique trolleys alongside a generous selection of all the very best trimmings. The Lanesborough’s Champagne Afternoon Tea will also be available over the weekend.
Guest Speaker: Royal Photographer, Chris Jackson
In the lead-up to the Coronation Weekend, Getty Images’ multi-award-winning Royal photographer, Chris Jackson, will hold an exclusive talk on 20 April. He will discuss his three publications, Modern Monarchy (Rizzoli, 2018), Elizabeth II: A Queen for Our Time (Rizzoli, 2021), and the newly published Charles III: A King & His Queen (Rizzoli, 2023).
Chris will share entertaining anecdotes and behind-the-scenes insights into the reality of life as a royal photographer, and the events that have shaped the life of the British monarch and the royal family over the last two decades.
An exhibition of Jackson’s life works of royal photography will display in The Great Hall of The Lanesborough, featuring a selection of members of the Royal family, with a focus on the new King and Queen, alongside images of Elizabeth II.
